How a Seed Starts
A seed does not begin to grow until it has enough water and warmth. First the seed coat softens. Then a tiny root pushes down into the soil. Later a shoot grows upward toward the light. The young plant uses stored food until its leaves can make energy.
A generated instance. Parameters such as difficulty, size, and symbol set are adjustable.
